*Issuer did not cooperate; based on best-available information
 
Please note that the rating(s) are based on best available information with the credit rating agency: the entity whose debt is being published via this rating rationale did not provide the requisite information needed to conduct the rating exercise or did not provide the No Default Statements (NDS) for the last three months and is therefore classified as 'non cooperative'.

Non cooperation by Issuer

CRISIL Ratings has been consistently following up with Manugraph India Limited (Manugraph) for obtaining information through letter and email dated May 28, 2024, July 23, 2024; July 29, 2024 among others, apart from telephonic communication. However, the issuer has remained non cooperative.

 

‘The investors, lenders and all other market participants should exercise due caution with reference to the rating assigned/reviewed with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' as the rating is arrived at without any management interaction and is based on best available or limited or dated information on the company. Such non-co-operation by a rated entity may be a result of deterioration in its credit risk profile. These ratings with 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' suffix lack a forward looking component.’

Detailed Rationale

Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, CRISIL Ratings failed to receive any information on either the financial performance or strategic intent of Manugraph, which restricts CRISIL Ratings’ ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's credit quality. CRISIL Ratings believes that rating action on Manugraph is consistent with ‘Assessing Information Adequacy Risk’.

 

CRISIL Ratings has downgraded its rating on the long-term bank facilities of Manugraph to 'CRISIL D Issuer Not Cooperating' from ‘CRISIL B-/Stable Issuer Not Cooperating’. The rating action is based on delay in servicing debt obligations by Manugraph India Limited which came to CRISIL ratings’ notice as per information in public domain.             

Analytical Approach

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL Ratings has taken a consolidated view of Manugraph and its wholly-owned subsidiary, i.e., Manugraph Americas Inc.  

 

Please refer Annexure - List of Entities Consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.
